- Wed Feb 22, 2012 5:55 pm #295899 Hello welcome to the forum :). I haven't personally had an engine damper but from why I gather they're not really worth spending the money on. If you was serious about preventing engine movement in the bay, you'll be better off to replace the main 3 engine mounts with harder ones. For instance I have Innovative engine mounts all round. You don't even need to use the front torque mounts as they do the job on their own.

Only downside is, you'll get more engine vibration within the car. Normally only noticeable when idling. I've got used to it, don't mind it at all :)

Hope I've helped.

if your getting an Engine Torque Damper you should look into the ones that bolt onto the block itself at the back which IMO is better

- Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:28 am #296061 i saw one site that had them(cant remember the site) and they bolted to the head with the exhaust manifold bolts then to the radiator support just in the middle on the engine where I think the best place for one would be.

seriously though if u have quality mounts these things are pretty much pointless
